Very nice! Good on you and remembering to give it a once over.
The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

Thanks guys! I'm hoping to get an edge on the wade and butcher tonight. I reset the bevel on it but my 6000 king and Cnat are at home so I have to wait a little for the final touches

It is pretty tough to beat a nice vintage Wade and Butcher, I love both of mine. Good luck on giving her a new life!

Well I've cleaned up the wade and butcher a little nd honed it up. I shaved with it last night and did okay. I need to refine the edge a little more but so far it did fairly well. I did a little research and so far have determined its pre 1890 do to the tang stamp. It says "Manufactured Wade & Butcher Sheffield" with the arrow and B in a circle. Anyone have a better ballpark figure of the age?

Well im no expert in dating razors but by the look of the blade and scales i would say this razor was probably made between 1870 to 1880 give or take a few.
